John MacArthur Says His Church Will Not Comply With Government Restrictions on Worship

“Insofar as government authorities do not attempt to assert ecclesiastical authority or issue orders that forbid our obedience to God’s law, their authority is to be obeyed whether we agree with their rulings or not. In other words, Romans 13 and 1 Peter 2 still bind the consciences of individual Christians. We are to obey our civil authorities as powers that God Himself has ordained.”

(Reformation Charlotte)  Sun Valley, California, took a lot of heat from critics after the elders decided to initially comply with shutdown orders and close the doors to their church temporarily in an effort to ward off the virus…. Continue reading

“It was Margaret Sanger who laid the foundation for today’s liberal social agenda that has left a legacy of anguish, confusion, pain, and death during Planned Parenthood’s century in business.

Lifting Lockdowns Not the Culprit Behind New Surge in Coronavirus Cases, Doctor Says

(Tyler O’Neil – PJ Media)  Massive protests and proximity to the U.S.-Mexico border explains the recent surge in coronavirus cases far better than lifting lockdowns, Scott Atlas, M.D., a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, told Fox News this weekend…. Continue reading
